Expert Advisor Development Specification (MT5)

Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced MQL5 developer to build a professional Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin trading (BTCUSD / BTCUSDT).

The objective is to create a robust, adaptive trading system focused on consistency, controlled drawdown, and long-term scalability.

The EA must NOT use:

• Martingale

• Grid systems

• Recovery systems

• Hedging strategies

Only real Stop Loss and Take Profit management should be used.

The final product must include full source code (.mq5), compiled version (.ex5), and complete ownership rights.

The EA should use an adaptive scoring engine that evaluates multiple market conditions before opening a trade.

Instead of relying on a single indicator, the system should combine trend, volatility, momentum, and price structure into a global trade score.

The EA will only open trades when the score exceeds a configurable threshold.

Default Symbol:

• BTCUSD

• BTCUSDT

The symbol must remain customizable.

Recommended timeframe:

• M30

Timeframe must also remain configurable.

The EA should analyze the market through four independent modules.

Module 1 – Trend Analysis

Possible indicators:

• EMA 50

• EMA 200

• ADX

The EA should classify the market as:

• Strong Bull Trend

• Bull Trend

• Range

• Bear Trend

• Strong Bear Trend

Trend score must contribute to the final setup score.

Module 2 – Volatility Analysis

Possible indicators:

• ATR

• Average Candle Range

• Volatility Expansion

The system should identify:

• Low Volatility

• Normal Volatility

• High Volatility

Trading should be avoided during extremely low volatility conditions.

Module 3 – Momentum Analysis

Possible indicators:

• Momentum

• ROC

• RSI

• MACD

Developer may suggest the best implementation.

Momentum conditions should increase or decrease setup quality.

Module 4 – Market Structure Analysis

The EA should detect:

• Breakouts

• Pullbacks

• Swing Highs

• Swing Lows

• Trend Continuations

The purpose is to avoid entering random positions and focus on high-quality structures.

The EA should assign a score between 0 and 100.

Example:

Trend Analysis = 30 points

Volatility Analysis = 25 points

Momentum Analysis = 20 points

Market Structure = 25 points

Total Score = 100

Trade opens only if score exceeds a configurable threshold.

Examples:

• Minimum Score = 70

• Minimum Score = 75

• Minimum Score = 80

User must be able to adjust this value.

The EA should support multiple entry modes.

Breakout Mode

Trade after confirmed breakout of important levels.

Pullback Mode

Trade after retracement inside an established trend.

Hybrid Mode

Allow both breakout and pullback opportunities.

User should be able to enable or disable each mode.

Selectable stop-loss methods:

Swing Stop

Based on recent swing high / low.

ATR Stop

Based on ATR multiplier.

Fixed Stop

Based on user-defined points.

Inputs required:

• SL Type

• ATR Multiplier

• Fixed SL Points

• Additional Buffer

Selectable methods:

Fixed Risk Reward

Examples:

• 1:1

• 1:1.5

• 1:2

• 1:3

Dynamic TP

Based on market volatility and trend strength.

Required options:

Risk Modes

• Fixed Lot

• Minimum Lot

• % Equity

• % Balance

• % Free Margin

Protections

• Equity Drawdown Limit (%)

• Daily Loss Limit (%)

• Maximum Open Positions

• Maximum Trades Per Day

• Spread Filter

• Slippage Filter

When risk limits are reached, the EA must stop opening new positions.

• Break Even

• Partial Close

• Close Opposite Positions

All features must be configurable.

Use MetaTrader 5 built-in Economic Calendar.

Settings:

• Enable / Disable

• News Importance Level

• Minutes Before News

• Minutes After News

No external APIs required.

Enable or disable trading during:

• Asian Session

• London Session

Weekend filter:

• Enable / Disable

Create a professional dashboard displaying:

• Current Trend

• Current Volatility State

• Current Setup Score

• Active Session

• Open Trades

• Daily PnL

• Current Drawdown

• Spread

• Equity

Dashboard should be lightweight and optimized.

The EA must be optimized for:

• MT5 Strategy Tester

• Multi-core optimization

• Fast backtesting

• Low CPU usage

Code structure must be modular and easy to maintain.

Required:

• Full .mq5 source code

• Compiled .ex5

• Input parameter guide

• Initial bug support

Ownership:

All source code and intellectual property rights will belong to the buyer upon completion.

Please include examples of previous MT5 Expert Advisors you have developed and indicate your estimated development time and cost.
